Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

The 40 best foods
1. The 40 Best Age-Erasing Superfoods
By: The editors of Men's Health
The latest science on the muscle-
building, brain-enhancing, wrinkle-
erasing, heart-strengthening,
bone-protecting, immunity-
boosting, and inflammation-
fighting foods you should be
eating every day.
1. Almonds
These energy-rich snacks lower bad
cholesterol, thanks to plant sterols, and
benefit diabetics by lowering blood sugar.
They’re also rich in amino acids, which
bolster testosterone levels and muscle
growth. Almonds are also stuffed with
vitamin E, which helps defend against sun
damage. In a study, volunteers who
consumed 14 milligrams of the vitamin
(about 20 almonds) per day and then were
exposed to UV light burned less than those
who took none. And because vitamin E is
an antioxidant, it also works to keep your
arteries free of dangerous free radicals.
Low levels of vitamin E are also associated
with poor memory performance and cognitive decline, says dietitian Sari Greaves of New York
Presbyterian Hospital–Cornell.
2. Flaxseeds
Rich in protein and fiber, these little
seeds offer a payload of omega-3 fatty
acids, which erase spots and iron out
fine lines in the skin. The British Journal
of Nutrition reported that participants in
one study who downed about half a
teaspoon of omega-3s daily in 6 weeks
experienced significantly less irritation
and redness, along with better-hydrated skin. A recent study of people with high cholesterol
(greater than 240 mg/dL) compared statin treatment with eating 20 grams of flaxseed a day. After
60 days, those eating flaxseed did just as well as those on statins. Try sprinkling ground flaxseed
on oatmeal, yogurt, and salads.

2. 3. Tomatoes
There are two things you need to know
about tomatoes: red are the best,
because they’re packed with more of
the antioxidant lycopene; and
processed tomatoes are just as potent
as fresh ones, because it’s easier for
the body to absorb the lycopene.
Studies show that a diet rich in
lycopene can decrease your risk of
bladder, lung, prostate, skin, and stomach cancers, as well as reduce the risk of coronary artery
disease, and help eliminate skin-aging free radicals caused by ultraviolet rays. “Cooked tomatoes
and tomato paste work best,” says celebrity trainer Gunnar Petersen.
4. Sweet Potatoes
Often confused with yams, these
tubers are one of the healthiest foods
on the planet. In addition to
countering the effects of secondhand
smoke and preventing diabetes,
sweet potatoes contain glutathione,
an antioxidant that can enhance
nutrient metabolism and immune-
system health, as well as protect
against Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, liver
disease, cystic fibrosis, HIV, cancer, heart attack, and stroke. What’s more, they’re also loaded
with vitamin C, which smoothes out wrinkles by stimulating the production of collagen. A recent
study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that volunteers who consumed 4
milligrams of C (about half a small sweet potato) daily for 3 years decreased the appearance of
wrinkles by 11 percent.
5. Spinach
It may be green and leafy, but spinach—a
renowned muscle builder—is also the ultimate
man food. The heart-health equivalent of a first-
ballot Hall of Famer, spinach is replete with the
essential minerals potassium and magnesium,
and it’s one of the top sources of lutein, an
antioxidant that may help prevent clogged
arteries. Plus its vitamins and nutrients can
bolster bone-mineral density, attack prostate
cancer cells, reduce the risk of skin tumors, fight
colon cancer, and, last but not least, increase
blood flow to the penis. “Popeye was on to
something,” says Susan Bowerman, assistant director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the
University of California at Los Angeles.

3. 6. Rosemary
The carnosic acid found in this spice has
been shown to reduce stroke risk in mice
by 40 percent, according to a study
published in the Journal of
Neurochemistry. Carnosic acid appears to
set off a process that shields brain cells
from free-radical damage, which can
worsen the effects of a stroke. It can also
protect against degenerative diseases like
Alzheimer’s and the general effects of
aging.
7. Wild Salmon
A 4-ounce serving of salmon has
approximately 2,000 milligrams of
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA),
omega-3 fatty acids that serve as
oil for the brain’s hardware by
helping nerve cells communicate
with one another. Thirty-five percent
of your brain consists of fatty acids
like these, but they can decline as
the years stack up. A 2008 University of Cincinnati study, for instance, found that the brain tissue
of 65- to 80-year-olds contained 22 percent less DHA than the brain tissue of 29- to 35-year-olds.
“If you want to keep your wits about you as you age, start consuming omega-3s now,” says
William Harris, Ph.D., a nutrition researcher at the University of South Dakota. Why is wild so
important? Because farmed fish, which are fattened with soy, can be as high in inflammatory
omega-6 fats as a cheeseburger. If in doubt, opt for sockeye salmon, which can’t be farmed and
is always wild. Aim for at least two servings a week, says dietitian Joan Salge Blake, author of
Nutrition and You.
8. Blueberries
“This potent little fruit can help prevent
a range of diseases from cancer to
heart disease,” says Ryan Andrews,
the director of research at Precision
Nutrition, in Toronto, Canada. Think of
blueberries as anti-rust for your gray
matter, too. Besides being rich in fiber
and vitamins A and C, they’re also
packed with antioxidants—only açai,
an Amazonian berry, contains more—
that neutralize the free radicals that cause neuronal misfires. Eat a cup a day, and opt for wild
blueberries whenever possible, as they contain 26 percent more antioxidants than cultivated
varieties.

4. 9. Green Tea
Green tea releases catechin, an antioxidant with proven anti-inflammatory and anticancer
properties. Research found that drinking 2 to 6 cups a day not only helps prevent skin cancer but
might also reverse the effects of sun damage by neutralizing the changes that appear in sun-
exposed skin. Other studies show that green tea—infused with another antioxidant called
epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)—can boost
your cardiovascular health and reduce the risk
of most types of cancer.
10. Dark Chocolate
Flavonoids, a natural nutrient in cocoa, improve
blood flow in the brain, which helps boost
cognitive function. Plus dark chocolate contains
a tannin called procyanidin, which is also found
in red wine, that can keep your arteries flexible
and your blood pressure low. It helps on the outside, too. In a study from the Journal of Nutrition,
women who drank cocoa fortified with a chocolate bar’s worth of flavonols had better skin texture
and stronger resistance to UV rays than those who drank significantly fewer flavonols. Indulge in
1 ounce a day to get all the benefits, says dietitian Sari Greaves of New York Presbyterian
Hospital–Cornell.
11. Tuna
Your favorite deli sandwich has a little secret:
Selenium. This nutrient helps preserve elastin, a
protein that keeps your skin smooth and tight. The
antioxidant is also believed to buffer against the sun
(it stops free radicals created by UV exposure from
damaging cells). Tuna is also a great source of
protein, contains no trans fat, and a 3-ounce serving
of chunk light contains 11 mg of heart-healthy niacin, which has been shown to help lower
cholesterol and help your body process fat. University of Rochester researchers determined that
niacin raises HDL cholesterol (the good kind) and lowers triglycerides more than most statins
alone.
12. Carrots
Think of carrots as orange wonder wands—
good for the eyeballs, and good for clearing up
breakouts. No magic here, though, just plenty of
vitamin A, which prevents overproduction of
cells in the skin’s outer layer. That means fewer
dead cells to combine with sebum and clog
pores. They’re also spiked with carotenoids—
fat-soluble compounds that are associated with a reduction in a wide range of cancers, as well as
a reduced risk and severity of inflammatory conditions such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
Page | 4
5. 13. Dried Plums
Also known as prunes, these dark shrivelers
are rich in copper and boron, both of which
can help prevent osteoporosis. “They also
contain a fiber called inulin, which, when
broken down by intestinal bacteria, makes
for a more acidic environment in the
digestive tract,” says Bowerman. “That, in
turn, facilitates calcium absorption.”
14. Whole Grains
Whole grains—oatmeal, wheat flour, barley,
brown rice—are high in fiber, which calms
inflamed tissues while keeping the heart
strong, the colon healthy, and the brain fueled.
Whole grains can be loaded with carbs, but
the release of those sugars is slowed by the
fiber, and because they can pack as much as
10 grams of protein per 1/2-cup serving, they
also deliver steady muscle-building energy.
But not all breads and crackers advertised as “whole grain” are the real deal. “Read the label,”
says Lynn Grieger, an online health, food, and fitness coach. “Those that aren’t whole grain can
be high in fat, which increases inflammation.”
15. Red Wine
Swimming in resveratrol—a natural compound that
lowers LDL, raises HDL, and prevents blood clots—red
wine can truly be a lifesaver. A recent review in
Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, for
instance, suggests that resveratrol may prevent or delay
the onset of chronic disease. But limit your intake to two
drinks a day. According to a study of 6,000 patients in the
Journal of the American Medical Association, you’re 97
percent more likely to reach your 85th birthday if you
keep your daily alcohol consumption to fewer than three
drinks. Vin rouge is also a rich source of flavonoids, antioxidants that help protect the lining of
blood vessels in your heart, and may make you less likely to die of cardiovascular disease,
according to Japanese researchers.
16. Yogurt
Various cultures claim yogurt as their own
creation, but the 2,000-year-old food’s health
benefits are not disputed: Fermentation spawns
hundreds of millions of probiotic organisms that
serve as reinforcements to the battalions of
Page | 5
6. beneficial bacteria in your body, which keep your digestive tract healthy and your immune system
in top form, and provide protection against cancer. Not all yogurts are probiotic, though, so make
sure the label says “live and active cultures.”
17. Avocado
Chock full of monounsaturated fat, avocados
deliver a double-barreled blast to LDL
cholesterol (the bad kind). They are also rich in
folate, a water-soluble B vitamin that helps
lower the levels of homocysteine, an amino
acid that can hinder the flow of blood through
blood vessels. Eat a 1/4 cup twice a week,
says Greaves.
18. Walnuts
Richer in heart-healthy omega-3s than salmon,
loaded with more anti-inflammatory polyphenols
than red wine, and packing half as much muscle-
building protein as chicken, the walnut sounds like
a Frankenfood, but it grows on trees. Other nuts
combine only one or two of these features, not all
three. A serving of walnuts—about 1 ounce, or
seven nuts—is good anytime, but especially as a postworkout recovery snack.
19. Turmeric
Curcumin, the polyphenol that gives turmeric
its tang and yellow hue, has anticancer
properties, anti-inflammatory effects, and
tumor-fighting activities known in nutrition-
speak as anti-angiogenesis. Researchers at
UCLA have also found that it helps deter the
accumulation of amyloid plaques in the
brain, tiny blockages that may cause
Alzheimer’s disease. Turmeric’s prevalence
in India, the researchers suggest, may help explain why so few of the country’s senior citizens
have the disease, whereas the statistic is close to 13 percent in the United States, according to
the Alzheimer’s Association. One tip: Pair it with pepper in curries. “Adding black pepper to
turmeric or turmeric-spiced food enhances curcumin’s bioavailability by 1,000 times, due to black
pepper’s hot property called piperine,” says nutritionist Stacy Kennedy of the Dana Farber
Cancer Institute.
20. Black Beans
Page | 6
7. People who eat one 3-ounce serving of black beans a day decrease their risk of heart attack by
38 percent, according to a study in the Journal of Nutrition. And while other beans are also good
for your heart, none can boost your brainpower like black beans. That’s because they’re full of
anthocyanins, antioxidant compounds that have been shown to improve brain function. They’re
also packed with superstar nutrients, including protein, healthy fats, folate, magnesium, B
vitamins, potassium, and fiber.
21. Apples
An apple a day reduces swelling of all kinds, thanks to quercetin, a flavonoid also found in the
skin of red onions. Quercetin reduces the risk of allergies, heart attack, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s,
and prostate and lung cancers. If given the choice, opt
for Red Delicious. They contain the most inflammation-
fighting antioxidants.
22. Alaskan King Crab
High in protein
and low in fat,
the sweet flesh of the king crab is spiked with zinc—a
whopping 7 milligrams per 3.5-ounce serving. “Zinc is
an antioxidant, but more important, it helps support
healthy bone mass and immune function,” says
Bowerman.
23. Pomegranates
The juice from the biblical fruit of many seeds
can reduce your risk of most cancers, thanks to
polyphenols called ellagitannins, which give the
fruit its color. In fact, a recent study at UCLA
found that pomegranate juice slows the growth
of prostate cancer cells by a factor of six.
24. Pak Choy
This crunchy cruciferous vegetable is more than the
filler that goes with shrimp in brown sauce. “Bok
choy is rich in bone-building calcium, as well as
vitamins A and C, folic acid, iron, beta-carotene,
and potassium,” says celebrity trainer Teddy Bass.
Potassium keeps your muscles and nerves in check
while lowering your blood pressure, and research
suggests that beta-carotene can reduce the risk of both lung and bladder cancers, as well as
macular degeneration.
Page | 7
8. 25. Oysters
Shellfish, in general, is an excellent source of zinc, calcium,
copper, iodine, iron, potassium, and selenium. “But the creamy
flesh of oysters stands apart for its ability to elevate testosterone
levels and protect against prostate cancer,” says Bass.
26. Broccoli
One cup of
broccoli contains a hearty dose of calcium, as
well as manganese, potassium, phosphorus,
magnesium, and iron. And that’s in addition to
its high concentration of vitamins—including A,
C, and K—and the phytonutrient sulforaphane,
which studies at Johns Hopkins University
suggest has powerful anticancer properties.
27. Kiwis
Like bananas, this fuzzy fruit is high in bone-protecting
potassium. “They’re also rich in vitamin C and lutein, a
carotenoid that can help reduce the risk of heart disease,” says
Bowerman. “I try to eat at least one or two a week after
exercising.” Freeze them for a refreshing energy kick, but don’t
peel the skin: It’s edible and packed with nutrients.
28. Olive Oil
The extra-virgin variety is rich in beneficial monounsaturated
fats. “Its fatty acids and polyphenols reduce inflammation in
cells and joints,” says Grieger. A study in the journal Nature
found that it’s as effective as Advil at reducing inflammation.
“Have 2 tablespoons a day,” says Bowerman.
29. Leeks
“Leeks can support sexual functioning and reduce
the risk of prostate cancer,” says Michael
Dansinger, M.D., an assistant professor of
medicine and an obesity researcher at Tufts–New
England Medical Center, in Boston. “Chop the
green part of a medium leek into thin ribbons and
add it to soups, sautés, and salads as often as
possible.” These scallionlike cousins of garlic and onions are also packed with bone-bolstering
thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, and potassium, and they’re also rich in folic acid, a B vitamin that
studies have shown to lower levels of the artery-damaging amino acid homocystein in the blood.
Page | 8
9. 30. Artichokes
Lauded for centuries as an aphrodisiac, this fiber-rich
plant contains more bone-building magnesium and
potassium than any other vegetable. Its leaves are
also rich in flavonoids and polyphenols—antioxidants
that can cut the risk of stroke—and vitamin C, which
helps maintain the immune system. “Eat them as often
as you can,” says Bowerman. Ripe ones feel heavy
for their size and squeak when squeezed.
31.
Chili
Peppers
“Chilis stimulate the metabolism, act as a natural
blood thinner, and help release endorphins,” says
Petersen. Plus, they’re a great way to add flavor
to food without increasing fat or calorie content.
Chilis are also rich in beta-carotene, which turns
into vitamin A in the blood and fights infections,
as well as capsaicin, which inhibits neuropeptides (chemicals that cause inflammation). A recent
study in the journal Cancer Research found that hot peppers even have anti-prostate-cancer
properties. All this from half a chili pepper (or 1 tablespoon of chili flakes) every day.
32. Ginger
Contrary to popular belief, ginger—a piquant addition to so
many Asian dishes—isn’t a root, it’s a stem, which means it
contains living compounds that improve your health. Chief
among them is gingerol, a cancer suppressor that studies
have shown to be particularly effective against that of the
colon. Chop ginger or grind it fresh and add it to soy-
marinated fish or chicken as often as you can. The more
you can handle, the better.
33. Cinnamon
Known for making desserts sweet and Indian food complex,
cinnamon is rich in antioxidants that inhibit blood clotting and
bacterial growth (including the bad-breath variety). “Studies
also suggest that it may help stabilize blood sugar, reducing
the risk of type 2 diabetes,” says dietitian Nancy Clark, author
of Nancy Clark’s Sports Nutrition Guidebook. “What’s more, it
may help reduce bad cholesterol. Try half a teaspoon a day in
yogurt or oatmeal.”
Page | 9
10. 34. Eggs
Those who have eggs for
breakfast lose 65 percent more
weight than those who down a
bagel breakfast with the same
number of calories, according
to a study in the International
Journal of Obesity. Eat the
yolk, too. Recent studies have proved that the fat in the yellow part is important to keep you
satiated, and the benefits of its minerals and nutrients outweigh its cholesterol effect.
35. Figs
Packed with potassium, manganese, and antioxidants, this
fruit also helps support proper pH levels in the body, making
it more difficult for pathogens to invade, says Petersen.
Plus, the fiber in figs can lower insulin and blood-sugar
levels, reducing the risk of diabetes and metabolic
syndrome. Select figs with dark skins (they contain more
nutrients) and eat them alone or add them to trail mix.
36. Grass-Fed Beef
Nothing beats pure protein when it comes to building
muscle. The problem with most store-bought beef, however,
is that the
majority of
cattle are
grain fed, which gives their meat a relatively high
ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. That, in
turn, contributes to inflammation. The fatty acids
in grass-fed beef, on the other hand, are skewed
toward the omega-3 variety. Such beef also
contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which
studies have shown help reduce belly fat and
build lean muscle.
37. Mushrooms
Delicious when added to brown rice, reiki, shiitake, and
maitake mushrooms are rich in the antioxidant ergothioneine,
which protects cells from abnormal growth and replication. “In
short, they reduce the risk of cancer,” says Bowerman, who
recommends half a cup once or twice a week. “Cooking them
in red wine, which contains resveratrol, magnifies their
immunity-boosting power.”
Page | 10
11. 38. Pineapples
With its potent mix of vitamins, antioxidants,
and enzymes—in particular, bromelain—
pineapple is an all-body anti-inflammation
cocktail. It also protects against colon cancer,
arthritis, and macular degeneration, says
Grieger. (If only the “colada” part of the
equation were as healthy.) Have half a cup,
two or three times a week.
39. Fruit or Vegetable Juice
Raise a glass of the good stuff. In a 2006
University of South Florida study, people who
drank three or more 4-ounce glasses of fruit or
vegetable juice each week were 76 percent less likely
to develop Alzheimer’s disease than those who drank
less. The high levels of polyphenols—antioxidants
found in fruits and vegetables—may protect brain
cells from the damage that may be caused by the
disease, says study author Amy Borenstein, Ph.D.
40. Bing Cherries
Research by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture shows that eating about 35 bing
cherries a day can lower the risk of tendinitis,
bursitis, arthritis, and gout, says Bowerman.
Studies also suggest that they reduce the risk
of chronic diseases and metabolic syndrome.
